Motion Tablets

I work doing support for the Motion Computing tablets & have fallen in love with them. Its a slate only model & not a convertable. This means that if your traveling alot, you carry a bag for the extras, but they are unnessary with the features on this unit. Its getting a high reccomendation from me despite the fact I work there. You can also get great info on other models at www.tabletpcbuzz.com

Good Luck in your search.

I used to have reservations regarding Tablet PC's. It costs more than a regular laptop and there don't seem to be much difference. However, after using the Acer Tablet PC I find it to be much convenient and lighter. The nifty pen really helps a lot and makes it worthwhile, way easier than using a regular touchpad. It still comes with a touchpad and you can still use it as a regular laptop however you so desire. It's a totally different experience writing on the screen

In terms of specifications: 2 pounds with firewire,and wireless nic and external dvd/cd-rw

l apologise for bringing this back to the front but than just got my motion tablet and it is the Bs and Es
only took couple of minutes to get used to writing insted of typing and it can read my handwriting, which is pretty bad.
will do a full review once thane had a change to put it through it's paces.
